Just found this. I'm in chico too. Sleeved by dr. Simchuch (Ludwig assisted). Who was your surgeon and how are you doing?

hi, sorry, I'm not on here very much anymore. .. I hope you're doing well, it gets easier, I promise! It's been 14 months and I'm doing great... very healthy and all my labs are good... I lost 95 lbs and one of these days I'll kick my ass* into gear and lose the last 15 lbs, lol... it's definitely harder now because I have to really watch my diet and make good choices, but I keep up on it daily. I moved to Florida so I'm not in Chico anymore, but I hope your experience with Simchuck was as great as mine.♡

I went to my first at kaiser Campbell. You don't have to be a kaiser member to go. It was small but maybe because it was right before Christmas. Very nice helpful people in various stages of post op. I plan on going to the next one on January 28th at 6pm.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
